This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Lenny Fukshansky from Claremont McKenna College. Title: From Knapsacks and Changing Coins to Geometry Abstract: Suppose you have a bag that can hold a fixed amount of weight, and you are trying to fill it with several types of objects of different weights and prices. The goal is to […]
Speaker: Daniel Zaharopol, Founder of Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), (AoPSI) The Art of Problem Solving Initiative, Inc. Title: Math as the Gateway for STEM Achievement and Access: The Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM) Program Abstract: Knowing facts is not enough to drive success in STEM fields: one also needs strong problem solving, […]
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Qidi Peng and William Wu from Claremont Graduate University. Title: The Beauty of Fractal Geometry Abstract: We will introduce fractal geometries, which are described in continuous but nowhere differential functions. We will tell the students where to find these geometries in the nature and how to describe them using […]
Quandles are algebraic structures encoding the motion of knots through space. Quandle cocycle quivers categorify the quandle cocycle invariant. In this talk we will define a quiver representation associated to […]
Speaker: Hrushikesh Mhaskar, Distinguished Research Professor of Mathematics, Claremont Graduate University Title: Local Analysis Of Global Data Abstract: For a periodic integrable function f, the definition of Fourier coefficients requires the values of f on the entire period. We refer to such data as “global” data. Even though the sequence of Fourier coefficients determines f […]
Let K be a compact convex set in the Euclidean space R^n. How many lights are needed to illuminate its boundary? A classical conjecture of Boltyanskii (1960) asserts that 2^n […]
Speaker: Nabil Fadai, Professor of Mathematical Biology, University of Nottingham Title: Stochastic Agent-Based Models in Mathematical Biology Abstract: In the last decade, there has been a movement to describe biological […]
This one-day workshop assembles diverse perspectives from the history and philosophy of mathematics to examine ways in which mathematics is applied and impure. Topics will range from applications of mathematics […]
Title: Renormalization and wild attractors for Fibonacci maps Abstract: A Fibonacci map is a piecewise defined map of a subset of an interval I onto I with a unique critical […]
Following Kalashnikov, we recover Givental’s small J function for CP^1 by viewing it as a quiver flag variety.
We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Shane Rankin (University of California, Riverside) Title: Symplectic Hodge Theory on Lie Algebroids Abstract: Symplectic Hodge Theory […]
Title: Journey of Black Mathematicians Film Description: Creating Pathways (2025) highlights the lives of Black mathematicians who pursued their education at predominantly White institutions. The film gauges the impacts of […]
